This really misidentifies the problem of robber barons.

Another “OMG Lookit the Horrible White Woman.” This should be known as the decade of fragile masculinity and the women who enable them.

I think Abbott Elementary and Ghosts are both genuinely quite good

Grand Crew is very funny. Nicely defined characters and a definite “Happy Endings” vibe.

He has to learn to whine for three paragraphs that every joke wasn’t sufficiently anti-Trump.

I think the idea is that it’s misogynistic (and apparently not even what the condition is?) to suggest that a disease that primarily affects women causes them to have small hearts…and act like Grinches. It’s not a great association.

It was fun. It’s a fun movie.

The same with ATM machine.

Katie Rife deserves as warm and as voluble a send off as AA Dowd got in his Iron Man 3 retrospective. Rife has a wonderful appreciation for the psychotronic side of movies, the weird, the bad and the cult-y. This isn’t a perspective you see a lot in film criticism, but it is an invaluable one, which celebrates unloved…

Forgive me. It is my last day and am feeling brazen but I never said he shouldn’t have taken the role just that he is extremely bad in it.

“Fuck no,” he responded, explaining that he read an article about how the movie is an “evisceration of the American myth” and how it was being promoted with images of “fucking cowboys” wearing “chaps and no shirts.”

What an odd comment to make. 

He mentions Ang Lee but never says “What the fuck did Ang know about ranchers cattle or otherwise, he probably shouldn’t have been the one to make Brokeback.” No he mentions that he worked with Ang and that Ang is a great director. Brokeback isn’t about ranching anymore than Power of the Dog is about ranching so why…

Fk Sam Elliot. This homophobe and sexist doesn’t realize he’s not a real cowboy, he just plays one. The book however is written by a real cowboy. And, the best Westers were made by an Italian guy and Japanese guy. Also, my last day on AV Club because fk G/O Media.

There is a little known modern western from 1998 called The Hi-Lo Country, starring Billy Crudup, Woody Harrelson and Patricia Arquette. It carries some obvious gay subtext between the two leads, it’s directed by Stephen Frears, a Brit, and in one major supporting part, you have... Sam Elliott.

You didn’t say why you hated it. If you hated it because you thought it was overlong, tedious and/or none of the characters were sympathetic to you, you are in the clear. If you hated it because it was “too homosexual” or “the director was a foreigner with a vagina,” then you may want to be choosy who you express…

I don’t think it was Turner who sent the note to Agnes. I think it was *Church*.

I think we’re still in a societal backlash period from 1,000 years of stories of noble Christian warriors triumphing over hordes of bloodthirsty pagan savages (and some people still aren’t on board). It might just be culturally necessary to get a few of the inverse on the books before we can have a more nuanced…

I'd buy a boxed set of these in a heartbeat. Give me commentary and deleted scenes and maybe some nerdy thing about where the various shows fit in the MCU timeline. Just give me a massive collection of the entire Netflix line in one box; I don't even care that I'd be paying for the Punisher.
